This man knows how to hype

Chapter 457: Iron Flower (Two in One)

To organize a national style cultural festival, you need to build a lot of things in advance.

Apart from anything else, there will be a concert on the third day, so the stage must be prepared in advance.

Such a scene might be kept secret in a closed gymnasium, but it would be impossible to keep it secret on a university campus in front of a group of energetic college students.

Of course, Xu Xiyu and Ke Xinying had no intention of hiding it. This thing should not be kept secret. Not only should it not be kept secret, it should also be promoted vigorously.

Taking into account the progression of publicity and the continued popularity, we naturally cannot release all the content at once. We need an entry point and roll it out step by step, which will also make it easier for netizens to understand.

In this way, the initial entry point naturally fell on the gimmick of "Xu Xiyu returns to school".

There were rumors that he would return to school to give a lecture on emotions, which made countless netizens shout, "After being sentenced for several years, Yu Yanxue finally started classes. I see that everyone can finally eat the prison food of a rich woman."

Later, the incident of Xu Xiyu taking a mysterious beauty around the school at night was instantly suppressed by the news of "Lin Yang and Wang Yuruo's official announcement" and "Luo Shuquan cooking".

But it still added some attention to the topic of "Xu Xiyu returns to school".

Now, a bunch of videos posted by Xu Xiyu’s younger classmates have brought the issue of "Xu Xiyu returning to school" back into the public eye.

However, no one knows what kind of "National Style Cultural Festival" Xu Xiyu is organizing. Another rumor is: #Xu Xiyu invites teachers and students from his alma mater to watch a concert#
Good guy.

It was the end of September, and college freshmen from all over the country had just experienced the baptism of military training, and various schools were holding welcome activities.

When this news came out, a lot of freshmen were really envious, and it also ignited the discussion enthusiasm of many university netizens.

[Fuck! I'm listening to the school leaders' meeting at my school, and you're watching the All-Star Concert at your school?]

[Don't do this, don't do this, I'm going to file a complaint against you in the imperial court. You don't study hard, but only care about having fun (eating lemon.jpg)]

[If you don’t understand, just ask, can people from nearby schools go? Our school is quite close to your school.]

[I finally understand the benefits of having a famous alumnus]

[Wrong, it is an advantage to have a famous alumnus who is “generous” and “good at handling things”. Other alumni may not be able to do something like Ah Dan.]

[According to this, all the celebrities from Huaqing have to come to show their support. Can we see Lv Qinyao? ]

[There is a high probability that he will come. I wonder if the celebrities who have worked with Adan will also come. For example, Liu Weichi, this is my mother’s idol. If I can get an autograph from him, then the issue of raising living expenses... ha ha ha...]

On the Internet, things slowly started to go astray.

But the enthusiasm for discussion did not diminish. Instead, it became more intense as the topic expanded.

The topic #徐熙宇邀教师学生from Alma Mater to Watch Concert# firmly occupied the top spot on the hot searches on major public platforms.

Just like that the night passed.

At the recording location of "The Longed-for Field", the guests who had rested for a night were sitting in the yard enjoying the cool air and chatting. They were so tired last night that they fell asleep immediately.

I just woke up today and played with my phone, and everyone finally got the news.

Now, everyone who was originally a little confused suddenly became interested in chatting.

Especially Wang Yuruo, she was worried that she hadn't gotten enough of the squeeze on Gulixiati yesterday. Anyway, Luo Shuquan was on her side. He was one of the investors of the program, and if she said anything inappropriate, the program crew would cut it out.

Therefore, she didn't have much scruples anymore, and she pretended to be surprised and said, "Oh~~ Mr. Xu is going back to his school to hold a concert, Xia Ti, I'm afraid Mr. Xu is going to invite you to be a guest at the concert, right?"

As soon as these words came out, other people's eyes immediately came over.

Gulixiati, who was originally sitting in the corner, hugging her long legs with her hands and playing with her mobile phone, glanced at Wang Yuruo when she heard this.

She didn't want to pay any attention to him. After all, no matter how stupid she was, she could see that Wang Yuruo had bad intentions. Everyone else here, except He Miao, was basically hostile to her.

But considering that the camera is still pointing at him, who knows if he ignores it, will it be maliciously edited?

So, she could only force a smile and say, "I'll go the day after tomorrow."

As soon as he finished speaking, Wang Yuruo immediately said, "I was wondering why you didn't even go to the CCTV party. It turns out that Mr. Xu has a bigger event."

As soon as these words came out, Gulixiati's face changed immediately, because these words were too hurtful. CCTV's status is there, who dares to say that their activities are bigger than his?

But if I say directly that I was rejected by CCTV, it will inevitably be seen as complaining, which will offend people.

For a moment, Gulishati didn't know how to answer.

He Miao next to her was also somewhat displeased with Wang Yuruo at this time, always feeling that she was too complacent.

So, he took the initiative to smooth things over and said, "Since we're going the day after tomorrow, and the concert and the Mid-Autumn Festival Gala don't coincide with each other, it's definitely not because of this."

After saying that, without giving Wang Yuruo a chance to reply, he turned around and asked with a smile: "Xia Ti, your Boss Xu is a famous music creator. He hasn't released any new works for a long time. Will he release any new works this time?"

Whenever Wang Yuruo mentioned Xu Xiyu, Gulixiati felt only disgust.

When He Miao asked about Xu Xiyu, Gulixiati knew that he definitely had no ill intentions, so she smiled and said, "It should be released this time, but I don't know the details. I only heard an instrumental song."

He Miao heard this and was about to ask what kind of instrumental music it was.

Wang Yuruo then asked, "Xia Ti, your boss is so good at writing songs, why didn't he write one for you to sing?"

"My singing is average, it's a waste if you give it to me." Gulishati suppressed her disgust and replied.

"You are being modest. If your singing is just average, why would Mr. Xu let you be a guest at his concert?" Wang Yuruo's tone sounded very sincere, but this sincerity seemed even more sarcastic.

"According to this theory, you are going to participate in the Mid-Autumn Festival Gala soon, so your singing must be like heavenly music?" He Miao finally couldn't help it and said unhappily.

And Wang Yuruo naturally couldn't get angry when facing He Miao, a top host in the circle.

I could only smile bitterly and continue to play with my phone.

"Xia Ti, come with me to the fields. This is the last one today. Let's go and pick something as a souvenir." He Miao patted his thigh and stood up, and Guli Xia Ti hurried to follow.

Seeing that both of them had left, Wang Yuruo couldn't help but complain to the others: "Look at her, she ignores everyone and I don't know where she gets such a big arrogance from."

"Okay, why are you mad at her? I think some people are just anxious to save face, they even go so far as to arrange things like holding a concert at school. It seems like they are really afraid that their artists will lose popularity." Someone sneered.

This guy is a die-hard gangster in the Beijing circle. His various income-generating channels usually rely on the support of the big guys, so naturally he has to show his loyalty at all times.

This is what Wang Yuruo wanted to hear, so she quickly smiled and said, "Who says it's not? It looks like a temporary arrangement, and they invited artists from their own company to perform at the concert."

"Hahahahahahaha, Yu Ruo's words are quite witty." When this "singing party" came out, everyone present could no longer hold back.

Just as everyone was laughing, a woman's voice suddenly came from the side: "Damn, Xu Xiyu is not organizing a concert, it's a national style cultural festival!"

This voice was quite abrupt, and everyone present was stunned. Wang Yuruo was even more puzzled and asked, "Teacher Li, what festival?"

"I don't know how to explain it. You can look it up online. Ke Xinying posted a promotional video."

After hearing this, everyone picked up their phones and started searching, and quickly finished watching the promotional video of just a few minutes.

The content of the video is presented from Ke Xinying's personal perspective, telling how she has been visiting various parts of the country since she started talking about organizing the National Style Culture Festival before the New Year, and until now, for about nine months.

Through mixed cuts of interactions with different inheritors from different places, as well as the display of different intangible cultural heritage contents, we have outlined what the content of this National Style Culture Festival will be.

It can be said that it encompasses various skills that people often hear about and those that people don’t often hear about.

The feeling given by the entire promotional video can be summed up in one sentence: "The preparation takes a long time and the scene is grand enough."

This made Wang Yuruo, who had just said "Xu Xiyu temporarily organized a group of artists to perform in the hall," feel a little flushed.

However, she still insisted: "Even if this national style cultural festival is very successful, it is still the inheritors of intangible cultural heritage who show up, and the artists are still singing in the hall."

As soon as the words fell, before the others could echo them, Teacher Li, who had spoken first, suddenly said, "Oh my god, Gulixiati is making iron flowers. I was wondering why both her hands are injured!"

"Where have you been? Are you working as a blacksmith?" Wang Yuruo wondered if there was something wrong with his ears.

Not only that, after she finished speaking, the image of the 175cm tall Gulixiati swinging a hammer to forge iron had already emerged in her mind.

Just as she was daydreaming, Teacher Li explained: "He's not forging iron, he's making iron flowers." After that, she turned the screen of her mobile phone towards everyone, and the ending part of the video was playing.

Along with the climax of Xu Xiyu's latest "copied" instrumental music "Floating Light", molten iron suddenly flew up and hit the built shed, splashing silver flowers.

The scene was gorgeous and beautiful.

Wang Yuruo and others were confused and bewildered.

It’s not their fault. Anyone who only reads this part will not be able to understand the cause and effect.

Fortunately, everyone had their mobile phones in their hands. After watching Ke Xinying's promotional video, it was convenient to go and watch Gulixiati make flower patterns.

So, a group of people lowered their heads and started searching for the video of making iron flowers.

Among them, Wang Yuruo is the most active.

What she least wanted to see was Gulixiati doing something eye-catching. After all, Mao Gaojun and Qi Xiangyang kept hinting to her that Gulixiati was her rival.

With this feeling, she finally clicked on Gulixiati's video titled "Take you to see the ultimate splendor of the ancients. I learned this thousand-year-old skill at the National Style Culture Festival."

The title of the video is quite conventional. In order to avoid being criticized, it does not do anything to attract attention.

After clicking on the video, Wang Yuruo was constantly flooded with comments. She couldn't help but look at the release time in the lower left corner, which clearly showed [10 minutes ago]

Are there so many comments in just ten minutes?
Did he hire some navy?
It looks like it, they are all just posting "awesome" comments, aren't they water armies?
But she didn't care about that anymore and quickly started watching the content of the video.

The video begins with a shot of Gulishati changing her clothes.

"Hi, everyone. I'm Gulixiati. Invited by the National Style Culture Festival, in this video, I'm going to take you to see one of the most gorgeous performances the world has ever seen, the iron flower show."

As she narrated this herself, the camera turned and it was already a dark night outdoors.

Gulishati in the camera is wearing traditional iron flower costumes. She holds a willow stick with iron flowers in her left hand and knocks it upwards with the willow stick in her right hand.

The molten iron shot up and hit a shed built of iron frames and trees, and suddenly a scene like fireworks burst out.

Gulixiati's narration sounded again: "Putting 1600-degree molten iron high in the sky, turning it into a colorful sky and gold on the ground. This thousand-year-old skill is too dangerous, so few people know how to do it now."

"Damn it?! Is she crazy? Isn't she afraid of being disfigured?" Wang Yuruo couldn't help but curse.

This seemed really unreasonable to her.

If 1600-degree molten iron gets on your face accidentally, your acting career will probably be over.

In fact, Xu Xiyu was also worried about this matter at that time.

So, I specifically talked to Gulixia about it, but as I said before, this girl somehow listened to Xu Xiyu very much and felt that Xu Xiyu would not harm her, so she was "not afraid".

However, in order to ensure safety, Xu Xiyu specially hired a medical team to follow her.

Fortunately, the reason why "inherited skills" are called "inherited skills" is that it has a relatively safe and systematic training method. If you follow the rules, the probability of accidents is very small.

Video continues.

The camera turned to Queshan, and Gulixiati's voice sounded again: "I found Mr. Yang Jianjun, the representative inheritor of the national intangible cultural heritage [Queshan Iron Flower].

The teacher said that it was too dangerous. For more than a thousand years, no girl had ever learned to make iron flowers. If you get burned, it would be a lifelong problem.

"So, you have become the only female successor? You are really good at flattering yourself." Wang Yuruo said sourly.

As she cursed, Gulishati's video continued, and what followed was the practice process.

There are mainly three stages.

In the first stage, you use two wooden sticks to hit the stones. You have to hit the stones to a height of more than ten meters. This requires skill and precise positioning, and the stones must hit the grooves of the wooden sticks exactly.

Only when you can successfully reach a height of more than ten meters can you be considered to have laid the foundation.

The second step is to practice precision. Replace the stones with sand. The feel of hitting sand and hitting molten iron are the closest. You have to successfully hit the sand high and loose.

"The last step is beating the water. To practice this step, you need to be shirtless and feel the water falling on your body. Even a sesame-sized amount of molten iron falling on your body will burn you and cause blisters. Therefore, the water must be beaten to feel like a drizzle."

"To make iron flowers in Queshan, you also need a willow branch flower shed. In ancient times, blacksmiths made iron flowers together with Taoist priests to pray for peace and prosperity for the country and a good harvest.

The Taoists designed the flower shed, which contains the One Yuan, Two Yi, Three Talents, Four Symbols, Five Elements, and Eight Diagrams. It is not only beautiful, but also full of Chinese cultural connotations. "

As the video footage and Gulixiati’s narration progressed, even the guests of “The Longing Field” gradually became fascinated.

When I saw Gulishati in the video, accompanied by the climax of the pure music "Floating Light", she really used a willow stick to hit the iron flowers.

They actually began to feel a numbing sensation all over their bodies.

As for the audience's barrage, it was even more amazing, not to mention the screen full of "Pray for peace and prosperity for the country and the people" and the "Awesome" that never stopped from beginning to end.

There were countless comments describing the shock in various words.

[My goodness, this is too amazing, right? ]

[Wasn’t it rumored a while ago that Hua Qing’s artists were suppressed and had no activities? I think it was a rumor. It’s obvious that they have moved to higher-end ones.]

[It gives me goosebumps]

【Does anyone know what the background music is? 】

[It's in the introduction, called "Floating Light", the author wrote Ah Dan's name, probably a new creation]

[Can Ah Dan also write instrumental music? ]

[How refreshing! When he debuted, the song "Scenery of Hometown" directly boosted the sales of his ocarina.]

[Is this a stand-in? I always feel that it is unrealistic for a girl to make iron flowers]

[I knew someone would make this up. Didn’t the person say it in the video? It was a live performance at the opening ceremony of the National Style Culture Festival. If it was a stand-in, would they dare to brag about this?]

[Is it so difficult to admit that others are excellent? 】

[Oh my god, can I participate in this national style cultural festival? I want to see the iron flower making in person]

Just 20 minutes passed.

The entry #古丽夏提打铁花# directly topped the hot search list on major platforms.

At this time, Wang Yuruo had just finished watching the video. At the end of the video, a line of words appeared on the black screen: "On September 9, the first National Style Culture Festival · Golden Autumn Bright Moon will open soon."

She finished reading it, and so did everyone else.

For a moment, everyone looked at each other, not knowing what to say.

Wang Yuruo didn't want this to happen, and she didn't want to admit how powerful Gulixiati was.

So, I could only repeat what I just said again with a sour tone: "This person is really trying to gain popularity. He dares to do anything messy and is not afraid of ruining his appearance."

After hearing this, everyone finally found an excuse.

Just as they were about to agree, they heard a noise coming from the courtyard gate. Everyone looked in the direction of the sound and saw He Miao coming back with Gulixiati.

As soon as he saw her, Wang Yuruo's expression became extremely unnatural.

He had just been sarcastic about Gulixia and she did this. Anyone would be embarrassed.

At this time, Mr. Li spoke again: "Fuck, CCTV, Daily News, Xinhua News Agency, Tuanhao, these big official media have reprinted it, it's really praised."

"How did you praise her?" He Miao raised his lips when he heard that, and asked knowingly. He had just received the news outside, and then he brought Gulixia back.

　I just came here to visit relatives. I got drunk. I will start signing tomorrow. By the way, I see that I have almost 3000 monthly tickets. I will add one chapter after 1000 chapters. There are 5 chapters in total. Current progress (0/5)
